Plagiarism strikes!

I check out my stats,traffic sources and audience every once in a while.Yesterday,a link led me to a page which I initially thought was my own blog.More than 150 recipes from my blog has been blatantly copied there,including the 'about me' page(which is apparently the most popular post on that blog!),the whole of my 'recipe index'(which took me around a week to compile!)and many more recipes.

I have commented on one of the posts(I didn't know which one to choose,there are so many posts of mine there!)and asked that person to remove my posts as soon as possible.Since there is an about me section as well,I don't want people to start thinking I am the one who is plagiarising(since there are posts from some other blogs as well!).Have also sent a mail to google reporting copyright infringement.

I want to let all my readers know that allrecipesforcooking.blogspot.com is NOT MY BLOG.

My posts have been blatantly copied by this person without giving any due credit to this blog.Despite commenting yesterday night asking to remove the posts,that person has put in a new post from my blog today morning.So the only way out is to shut that blog down.I have given my complaint here,please do let me know if there is anything more I can/should do.

I have also changed the feeds from full feed to summary only.Hope my readers understand.

My God! Is that person mad, imbecile or something. Impersonating another person and not only their recipes. Jeeez this is foul act at its best. What the heck was that person thinking. I had left my opinion in the recent post.

I know how shocking it would be .... And I was really shocked to see your profile there in the About page and that too on top. Public readers, other than bloggers may not understand this and instantly may lead to miss consumption. Better you posted this... We are with you for support.

Hey This is too much a person can do !!!plagiarism at its height thats what can I say. how can she copy ur about me page. got amused after seeing your even one bowl cocoa brownie ,choco mousse and many other recipe posts in that blog ..shame on her !!!am sure all the rest recipies on her blog would also be copied from some other famous blogs !!!Divya u should fight for this !!!U have every right for doing that !!!My full support for you !!

thats pathetic, how can someone just blatantly copy everything from a person who done so much hard work and take credit for it. that blog should be banned...i hope some action is taken against that blogcherie

That sucks. This person copied your whole year's hard work into 1 month of posts; I wonder since how long has that blog been up. How in the world do these people copy everything, posts to links to photos, from someone's blog as it is?! Looks like disclaimers & copyright notices don't really work, or even matter.

Did you report the copyright issue here?http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/request.py?contact_type=main_tos

Hi Divya,Firstly, I like to say thank you for sharing your insights to cooking and being so kind as to share!! I couldnt believe my eyes reading this post by you. Its very sad. But good news! I went to check out the easycooking blog site and its been removed! So good one you for speaking up! Take care and please visit my blog when you get a mo. I'd like your feedback also!Happy baking!Sheetal (NZ)

That's despicable, tough luck Divya..but not to worry, Iam sure google would assist and do the needful..Looking forward to the times when coveting & stealing the hard work of another with no credits to them, is out for ever...and leave the world as a better place for our future generations to survive !

Hi DivyaI am a regular reader of your blog and really enjoy trying out your recipes....its really disheartening to see this kind of blatant copying happen...and this person is still blogging! Andhe or she seems to be copying recipes from all over..its so obvious! I really hope some action is taken...seems to be someone who speaks portuguese...cos the comments page has the word "disse" meaning "says" before every comment.Good luck and don't let this discourage you!Chitra
